Please know that all youth activities are open to parent involvement and participation.  If at any time you would like to stop in and observe youth fellowship, Sunday school or Bible study or would like to become involved, the doors are always open!  If you just want to stop in and observe, it's not necessary to let me know, but if you'd like to get more involved, then by all means - GIVE ME A CALL!  I look forward to hearing from you.  

If you would like further information or have interest in volunteering,

please contact Jill Isola, 835-6759 or jilli@mempres.org
